This is an old hotel
The hotel itself is kind of old and i understand some people might like the old aesthetic. When we got to the hotel we asked for a microwave and the website says you can ask on request but the front desk lady immediately says “No you may not ask for a microwave” not just only that, there isn’t any refrigerator, the bathroom was old and there was a fly/bug in the room. This is my first time I have ever have to put a review for a hotel and it was this bad.

Very Nice.
Very nice hotel. We prefer the older properties, with more character. The only suggestion would be that the room vents need replacing.

Great Location, good price
The Berkely Hotel is a charming well maintained hotel in a great location for Richmond (Shockoe Slip). The only negative for me and my wife is that the rooms are dated and need some amenities to be added, most notably power outlets 120 v and USB and a refrigerator. I understand they are starting next year on a renovation plan. Unfortunately, the room rate will go up (most likely) As it is now it is a good value!

Hotel is in desirerable location. Friendly staff. Will be undergoing renovations starting in 3 weeks. Renovations will go floor by floor. Restaurant in the hotel was nice. Valet parking was no more expensive than garages in the area.

Great Hotel
We loved this hotel! It was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the historic vibe of both the hotel and the neighborhood. We had a nice meal in the hotel restaurant. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. The hotel is pet-friendly. We brought our elderly dog on the trip with us and there were no issues.
